Eduard Bigas

Eduard Bigas (Palafrugell, Gerona, 1969) currently lives and works in Berlin.

His first solo exhibition took place in 1990 in Girona (Spain). During this time, he made contact with the painter Modest Cuixart, one of the founding members of the group Dau al Set, who encouraged him to continue his artistic career. At the end of the 90s, he travelled to Sydney and New York for personal art projects. 

In 2002, he moved to London, where his work was shown in solo and group exhibitions.

Now, for more than ten years, Berlin is the centre of his artistic and private life. However, he still finds great inspiration in travelling, which is reflected in the series of his drawings created in Tokyo and Taiwan. 

His work has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, London, Amsterdam, Miami, Venice, Spain and Taiwan. You can find his work in private collections in Europe, Asia and the US.

Art historian and writer Tom Pugh: “Eduard Bigas works in oils, ink, pastels, acrylic, wax crayon and pencil – often at the same time – in a relentless quest to render and reveal even the strangest corners of his unique imagination. […] The paintings only rarely feature recognisable figurative elements – though they are always preoccupied with the human form, the curve of an arm or shoulder, at times open and welcoming, at times reserved and wary. Instead, he is actively exploring the exact point at which emotion (or ‘dream’) blurs objective engagement with reality (or ‘life’). […] Bigas does not expect or want us to understand his work – he is hoping to meet us on a more visceral level. […] The artist’s trademark ingredients are a delicate handling of light and tone, exquisite draughtsmanship, attention to colour and line, a strong sense of movement and feel for organic form. […] His work shows us the tension between what we want and what we have, and our fear that even this does not truly belong to us.”
